The Marmon Herrington CTMS-ITBI, used in Cuba by the July 26th Movement.

I believe there is a free 3D model of that floating around somewhere. Let me see if I can find it.

Sorry to get your hopes up. This is what I was thinking of.

Not quite what you were looking for. But if it works for you you can get the model here.

Well, I was able to throw this together today. I was pretty tired, so I just decided to get this model done. I had to "imagine" what certain parts of the tank looked like. I tried to reference other tanks from the time period. Umm . . . I added barrels to the back because the back was very plain--no pictures to see what was happening there--and to make the tank look longer. I think my model was a little too squat. Sween, let me know which color selection you prefer. I have two choices for you; you can see them in the small previews below. Also, what kind of animations do you want? Any special requests for death, attack, fortify, fidget, etc.?

I'm thinking that the green one is more what you're looking for.

It looks like the turret needs to be deeper and taller.

Well, I tried. I know it's not perfect, but . . . Here, I think the turret looks better from these views.

I have to agree with Kal-el, the turret just doesn't look right. It needs to be taller and stretch further back.
